I wonder how many more years we're going to keep the best baseball player to ever live, out of the HOF?

@JJ HuskerWithout google, do you know where the name Charlie Hustle originated from?

I always thought it was because he had a lot of stolen bases and was one of the first to slide head first. But I looked it up and discovered it was earned in a spring training game when he sprinted to first base after a walk, Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford said there goes Charlie hustle.
I don’t care if he gambled on baseball or not, he belongs in the HOF.

I don't think Bonds was the best ever, but I wouldn't lose sleep over Bonds not getting in. I am a Reds fan and it doesn't bother me one bit that Rose isn't in the HOF. I do find it funny that it took this long to get someone in with an unanimous vote. I like Rivera, but if guys like Williams, Mantle, Mays, Aaron, Bench, Ruth, Young...etc. didn't get a unanimous vote, I don't know why Rivera did. It makes you wonder what goes through some voters minds during the voting process.
